Portugal we are the champions

With five months late and the sound of oles, Portugal yesterday held an exuberant display of intensity, aggressiveness and competitive talent, great talent, with emphasis on goals from Ronaldo and Postiga, although only the lion have counted.

Defeating the fearsome world champions 4-0, Portugal left, ultimately, the darkness in which he was steeped in the past two years.

On a night of celebration for the Iberian World Watch, the first Portuguese   national team has contributed a part of high level, jamming the shredder Spanish, although at the expense of some loss of creativity in midfield. With this model and without a command in the interim, Paulo Bento opts for quick attack, restricting even the spots where Ronaldo and Nani, without permission to leave the flanks. From the first minute, when the birthday boy Nani forced Casillas to the first of a series of excellent saves, until the 45th when Carlos Martins opened the score with a recharge fulminating the new intervention of the Spanish keeper the finial cross from Ronaldo, was too short the period when Portugal did not control the operations.

At half time, yet Silva wasted a good opportunity face to face with Eduardo, but the selection responded with two outstanding moves: first, the referee overturned a masterpiece of Ronaldo and then Piqué was on the line, deflecting the shot from Martins.
